Great choice! Getting the Chinchilla Bath Sand would be a good idea as well, and it's not too expensive! (The only reason I know that is because I live in America too. Sometime's I look at prices for hamster toys posted on HC, and I have no idea if I should add it to my To Buy list or not!)
I'm glad to hear that your hamster actually wasn't bored, but a picture commited the crime! I hope both you and your hammy have fun with the new toy!
